[ns] couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory "Cygwin - winxp"

[Guogang Hua]

 I found my problem now. When the program install nam-1.11, there is a bug
which somebody else already reported-"replacing the 'NULL' in line 73 of
file agent.h in nam-1.11 with '0'. After I did that and compiled again, it
works ok now.
The ns.exe and nam.exe should be in /ns-allinone-2.28/bin/, so you need to
add this directory into your path by modifying file /etc/profile, add
export PATH=/usr/ns-allinone-2.28/bin:$PATH
or you can inpur the sentence into you terminal. but you need do this
everytime you open a new terminal. So modifying the file profile is
encouraged.
